Workpackages

Measurement programme and physics opportunitiesInclude a specification of the pion beam from the target and range of stored-muon energiesKen
Storage ring design, simulation of performanceInclude appropriate end-to-end simulation to demonstrate assumed flux precisionJaroslaw
Experimental facilityWhere the detectors go and (roughly) what kind of detectors could be consideredKen
SPS beam requirementsRequired beam parameters, POT/year etc., foreseen SPS operation scenarios, limitationsML
Fast extraction from the SPSFast extraction possibilities, limitationsWB/BG
Beam transport to targetBeamline, optics, transport to targetWB/BG
Target, target complexTarget requirements, options, context, Target complex, He vessel, shielding, handling etc. – all issues identified for CENF, BDF etcMC
Pion-beam captureHorn etc. etc.MC
Radiation protectionWill have to be reasonably high level – but a lot of previous work to be mined. Issues (muon halo…) Prompt and residual dose rates, air activation… Environmental considerationsHV
SafetyPreliminary safety evaluation (at least identify issues to be considered (these have mostly already been established – CENF, BDF etc.)SM
Implementation at CERN
(including indicative cost estimate)

Baseline LSS6 (making use of existing fast extraction systems)

  • Extraction
  • 100 GeV transport
  • Siting of target complex
  • Run through the key systems (other studies might provide useful input)
  • Preliminary CE studies
